From actual horror to just horribly rude: The chair of the bishops doctrine committee, Cardinal Donald Wuerhl, issued a press release[3] claiming theologian Elizabeth Johnson never responded to his request for a meeting regarding her book Quest for the Living God, which, Grant Gallicho points out at dotCommonweal,[4] turns out to be dead wrong. The bishops look sillier and sillier on the Johnson situation every day. What would Zombie Jesus do?

Finally, confirming Christian devotion to pilgrimage/tourism, archeologists in Israel have discovered a 1,000-year-old tiny prayer box[7] with little icons in the current souvenir district of Jerusalem. I doubt anything you'd buy at Disney World would last that long.
